Piano Trio No. 39 in G Major: Presto
by Haydn (not from The Creation) Kim Rankin, Piano; David Wilson, Violin; David Morris, Cello

Representation of Chaos
In the beginning
Now vanish before the holy beams
And God made the firmament
The marv’lous work behold amaz’d
And God said: Let the waters – and – Rolling in foaming billows

And God said: Let the earth bring forth grass
With Verdure clad

And the heavenly host proclaimed the third day
Awake the harp

And God said: Let there be lights
In splendor bright is rising now the sun

The heavens are telling the glory of God
end part 1

From part 2 as Postlude
The Lord is Great
